Use the interactive map below to search for TerraCycle public locations where you can drop off your recycling. It's free, and you won't need a TerraCycle account or shipping label.
Please note that volunteer administrators (not TerraCycle) manage drop-off points. The administrators choose the location, hours, and accepted waste streams. Please contact the administrator if you have questions about or suggestions for a specific drop-off location.
Let us know if you find a location that is no longer active by emailing us at mapupdates@terracycle.com.
Simply request to join this program, and once you are confirmed, your location will show up on the drop-off map. Set up boxes that community members can fill with their trash to be recycled, and send full boxes to TerraCycle at no cost to you. Enrollment limits apply. If the program is full, you will be added to a waitlist.

It’s quite simple to set up and manage a drop-off point, and you can recruit a group of friends to help!
Set Up:
Choose a location and receive permission if needed.
Update a new or existing TerraCycle account profile with details about your drop-off location.
Request to join the programs you would like to participate in.
Once you’ve been approved for the programs you requested, set up your drop-off location.
Manage:
Oversee the location (check it is being used properly, that waste is being shipped when collection boxes are filled).
When boxes are filled, seal them, download and affix the prepaid labels, and drop off the boxes at a UPS location.
Continue to join programs of your choosing.
Promote: Spread awareness about your location (as you see fit) to encourage participation.
Allocate: As you accumulate TerraCycle recycling rewards, choose which charities will receive donations from your points.
There are no direct costs to you for running a public drop-off point. Many collectors spend nothing other than their time.
Public spaces that have good traffic flow and are easily accessible are excellent drop-off points. Stores, community centers, places of worship, and libraries are great options. For the Gillette Recycling Program, schools are not eligible to be public drop-off locations.
You choose which TerraCycle free recycling programs your drop-off point will participate in. Collectors can drop off only the waste accepted in those TerraCycle programs.
Earn TerraCycle points by recycling with us! You can redeem your points in the form of a donation to a school, charity, or nonprofit of your choice.

We’ve made getting started with the Gillette® Recycling Program easy! Simply download a tracking label to ship your blades, razors, and plastic packaging to TerraCycle, and we’ll recycle them. Enrollment limits apply for private collection locations. If the program is full, please check for the closest public collection location.
Important note: Make sure the tracking label with your QR code is visible on the package, and not covered, when the shipping label is attached. You will need to pay for the shipping costs from your preferred shipping carrier.
Loop reusable stainless steel packaging is not accepted in the Gillette® Recycling Program. Only used blades can be mailed to TerraCycle through this program. Please scan and return Loop packaging via the Loop app for reuse and deposit return. You can reuse your razor handle at home.

Gillette has sponsored this free recycling program, so all you have to cover is the cost of shipping.
We encourage you to ship when your box is full of blades, razors, and plastic packaging to minimize the transportation carbon footprint for this program. UPS will not accept dripping packages, so please make sure your items are dry.
No, you do not need to clean the packaging before dropping it off, but please remove as much of the remaining product as possible before shipping. Public drop-off locations will not accept dripping items, so make sure your items are dry.
Once collected, the blades, razors, and plastic packaging are cleaned and separated by material type. The materials are recycled into raw formats that manufacturers use to make new products. Click here to take a virtual tour of our processing facilities.
